AIM 120

@MaxWaldorf All of the knowledge I’ve provided has come from people like Skolnik who spent decades developing radars and the theory behind them for the USN. Basic radar theory is basic radar theory no matter how hard you try to ignore it. Plus SME’s can be outright wrong or just misremembering. I’ve seen it before on more then a few occasions.
What i’m seeing is on targets just flying straight and level, no maneuvering, no chaff, no ecm. Is some missiles just never even finding targets. Missiles sorting on targets more then 6 miles away. Never even pointing in the right direction. Despite getting 10+ updates.
Lets just look at the tomcat, how could the system ever engage a bomber stream? With the current BMS system you’d have missiles never even finding targets, missiles going for targets well outside the predicated target point.
note the miss was due to the missiles seeker angle tracking loop failing in flight. It had found the target but missed due to this failure. -
Guys,
what Max and JP are telling you is this:If you’d really(!) have something meaningful to share with us you’d for sure never(!) share your knowledge publically(!) in a forum like this.
So, what do you think others think about your ‘way of observation’?

I can only quote an USAF Viper driver who one told me that missiles are called missiles because they miss a lot.
If they would hit a lot they would be called hitiles

Mystery solved!

@Le_Beau Aaah , teh old wise man words of wisdom
But… somehow I AM persuaded that in 20yrs situation is changed … hitiles > missiles…
See those Rus>Ukr shots with R77-1 from +70km vs maneuvering targets (su27/m29)… and hits.
Of course that is 21st century tech, 4th-5th gen.With our (still 20th century) F4-A120 (B, C-x) series being old… well it is kinda in “the loop” with avail data. (percentages between 50%-85%)
But those percentages should be respected., even at current ranges. ~15nm.
I won’t even go there … F18+AWACS D/L guiding A120D(100 km), guess it is “Back from the future” techRanges were always a bit reduced in Falcon (drag,fuel)… but for that much “realism” allows.
Anyway it makes dogfighting much fun then what looks nowadays…Remember that yt song from those airforce guys… “no fun in dropping GBU’s from auto-pilot at 30k”
Still , U1/2 … I’ll be there.

Makes no sens to me.
If you can wait longer for U1, you can wait for U2.(was trying to quote Osprey’s post. This forum definitely doesn’t work for me in my Android smart phone using yo to date Mozilla browser)
